Apple Carousels

Apple's Coverflow-like carousels are used on interior pages of Apple.com to provide visual navigation of products using product images. A set of images is displayed in a wide panel with a horizontal scrollbar. Carousels are used primarily for promotion when most sites place a set of images in this upper area of the screen below the navigation. Apple utilizes this space to provide better findability of products within each section of the site.
